This place is awesome! It's cool that they renovated an existing historical building, and did such a good job. The rooms, while not large, are well appointed. The bathrooms are very well done. And don't get me started on the staff. Everyone we met, went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. We will definitely be back!

Small rooms converted bank building. No breakfast offered or available on site. General area of hotel is littered with empty business. We stayed as it was walking distance to an upscale dinner venue. Otherwise it offers very little.

I love The Shining hallways. Also, we thought we heard lawyers arguing in the hall about 3:30 am, so idk maybe there's ghosts, but fantastic stay overall. Would definitely stay again and probably will. I love the old names on the doors! Great spacious rooms. Great view. Charming.

Cute boutique hotel in what was originally an art deco bank building. I loved the hardwood floors, art deco bedside sconce, antique security glass in the window and bathroom tile in my room. I booked the smallest type of room and it was indeed small, but it was plenty of room for me. Room amenities include a Keurig machine and small fridge. There’s no closet but there is a luggage rack and places to hang a few pieces of clothing. Free parking is in the lot next to the hotel. Webb Custom Kitchen is just a 5 minute walk. There are several other bars, restaurants and convenience stores right nearby as well. Be sure to check out the view from the rooftop lounge at sunset!
